There's something intriguing about what one 'group' or entity can perceive and another that cannot...which ends up being deadly. And we wouldn't even think of a window of glass as deadly. I like how the title and first part of poem DON'T give it (the bird's fate) away but it's only in the 2nd part of piece that we are clued in for sure that this winged explorer has indeed flown to avian heaven where worms abound and tweets resound. Was it the bird's search for beauty (indoors of house) that led to his untimely end? Well yes, this is the author's intent and the point of course carries over to what we human readers may feel in our own experiences. Beauty...it can save and it can kill. Be wary, if you will.
